one more thing about the meatout- it made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside
when I kept hearing about the aftermath of the meatout events at my
school...four kids I know decided to try vegetarainism (for a long term
basis, I mean) and one decided to try veganism (was a vegetarian before...).
YEAH!!! Just one person would have made it worth it to me. I never expected
to get such a positive response.
and now a question- what have you guys found is the most effective way to
teach people and spread the word? talking one on one? approaching people
when they are doing stuff wrong? showing anger? talking AR, health or
environment? I really think there is a science behind trying to change
peoples' ways...but I haven't perfected this. what are your tips??
